What is the Future of the City?
More human in scale and conception; more plugged in,
smarter and more aware of the human dimension.
“Investing in the greener, more resilient city of tomorrow is an essential insurance policy
for a more disaster-prone world. It is one of the smartest, most cost-effective investments
we can make in our common future.”
Ban Ki-Moon, United Nations Secretary-General |
The United Nations expects 16 out of 27 megacities in the world to be in Asia. The world’s population is currently more than 6.8 billion, and will exceed 9 billion by 2050, according to UN estimates.Most of those additional people will be born in cities.
With the majority of the world’s population living in urban areas for the first time in history, the race is on to design the perfect eco-city. At the same time, governments and businesses recognise the critical need to revitalise their existing cities, and have introduced policies to encourage, incentivise and finance the green retrofitting of these cities.
